2. Statement of Research Interests 2.1 Outline of my past studies Since the beginning of my scientific career, my long-standing research goal has been the development of intelligent machines by applying the techniques and methodology of computer science and artificial intelligence. When I started to work for a full year, in 1971, at my Dissertation for the fulfillment of the Italian “Laurea in Ingegneria Elettronica”, at the University of Padua, and during the following 4 years (1972-76) of research training done at the Italian National Research Council in Padua, the scientific community started to believe that the Artificial Intelligence studies would have made soon possible both automatizing the human reasoning processes and building intelligent robots. In those years, I developed a close scientific cooperation with the AI and Robotics Research Group of the Polytechnic of Milan, in Italy. And, in January 1973, I had also the chance of visiting for one month the School of Artificial Intelligence at Edinburgh University, upon an invitation by prof. B. Meltzer, and later in 1977-78, to spend a full year at Stanford University, in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of John McCarthy. As a consequence, from one side I studied the application of logic programming languages to the robotics planning problems, from the other side I worked on designing specific programming languages for automating mechanical assemblies, as an evolution of the AL language family, developed at Stanford SAIL Project. Based on the experience acquired in programming the Blue and the Yellow robotics arms in Stanford, I designed both a new virtual-machine language for manipulator tasks, and a representation language for 3D object modelling, that were experimented on an Olivetti Cartesian two-arms and 6 DoF manipulator, one of the first robotics product available in the industrial market, that was granted to the Polytechnic of Milan. Later on, I moved from software systems design to the design of Robot Algorithms, in the period when the scientific issue of Motion Planning was taking a main role on the robotics scenery, thanks to the pioneering studies of scientists like J. Canny, to whose Laboratory in Berkeley, I sent in 1991-92 one of my PhD Student, C. Ferrari, J.-C. LaTombe, that I had meet already in France in 1974, and many others. Thus, I worked for more than 15 years, mostly in cooperation with one of my student, C. Mirolo, who is now Research Professor at Udine University, to develop several smart algorithms for computing collisions free paths, until we designed an asymptotically fast algorithm for computing collisions translations of convex polyhedra that are reduced to the problem of determining collisions translation of pairs of planar sections and minimizing a bivariate convex function. When, in 1994 I started the cooperation with prof. T. Arai, at the Department of Precision Engineering of the University of Tokyo, that later, in 2009, elected me as Fellow of the School of Engineering, I realized how much important the issue of Multi-robot Systems had become. Thus, I started a long walk through many research topics from the cooperation algorithms for performing collective tasks to the sensory knowledge sharing. The participation for more than 10 years into Robocop community, that elected me as a Vice-President of the International RoboCup Federation from 2000 till 2004, has provided an excellent experimental field for testing the various algorithms we designed at my research Laboratory in Padua. In this frame, I organized in July 2003 the VII international edition of RoboCup, with more than 1200 participants. I also tutored since 1997, for about a decade, a group of students from the University of Padua, to participate into the RoboCup international competitions all around the world, in the Simulation, Middle-size, and Humanoids Leagues. As a milestone of scientific archive, in 2002, I succeeded to co-edit, in cooperation with T. Arai and L. Parker, a Special Issue on Advances in Multi-robot Systems for IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation.

9/15/10 - page 6

To enhance the scientific involvement of my University into the field of intelligent and autonomous robotics, in July 2000, I attracted in Italy, more than 200 participants to the Sixth International Conference in Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS), that I organized in Venice, under the sponsorship of the International IAS-Society, of which Elsevier’ Robotics and Autonomous Systems is the Host Journal, and that, later in 2004, elected me a President up to now. I also started in 1999, my own Laboratory of Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS-Lab), at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padua. Therefore, the focus of my scientific attention shifted from the classical approach to task and motion planning problems towards the autonomy and cooperation issues, where the coupling between perception and actions become relevant. I studied both the problem of dynamic role assignment in a team of robots, and the problem of sharing the sensory information to cooperatively track moving objects, where an assignment policy among robot teammates can be suitably activated, based on the knowledge about the best behavior that the team is able to acquire through the shared sensorial information. Thanks mostly to the support of my PhD Student E. Menegatti (www.dei.unipd.it/~emg), who later became an Assistant and now an Associate Professor in our Department, and helps me in running IAS-Lab, and of our PhD Students and Post-Doc’s, since 2000, we also developed several studies in the general area of Robotics Vision, with particular regards to Distributed Vision Systems. To this aim, we started working with building our own omnidirectional vision sensors, through a simple design process of multi-part mirrors with custom profiles, to be used for surveillance and edutainment applications. Then, we exploited the properties of the Fourier signature of omnidirectional images, defined by Menegatti and Ishiguro, that allows an efficient coding of panoramic images, to combine Monte Carlo localization with image-based localization for mobile robotics, and solve the robot-kidnapping problem. We also designed an omnidirectional Distributed Vision System (DVS) able to learn to navigate a mobile robot in its working environment without any prior knowledge about calibration parameters of the cameras, or the control law of the robot. The DVS consists of different vision agents implemented by omnidirectional cameras, among which the DVS is able to explicitly distribute the acquired knowledge, to both learn the control policies and to deal with changing environments. Finally, we worked on a new feature detection and tracking scheme, that is robust to the image motion blur, for allowing the localization of unstable mobile platforms, and humanoid robots. Our system was able to reliably extract and track the relevant features, by estimating a point spread function of the image motion blur and considering only highly distinctive features during matching. 2.2 Current scientific goals During the last five years, from one side I moved my attention towards new emerging robot technologies. One example is the study of humanoids robots through muscles modelling, that could be also usefully applied to robotics rehabilitation. To this aim we were able to design a neuromuscular human-machine interface that senses neural signals emitted by a user, interprets them, and makes accurate decision for the actuation of a simulated model of a human leg modelled through 13 musculotendon units spanning the knee joint. I am also studying the humanoids mobility problem in connection to the research topics of classical motion planning. The high dimensionality of the configuration space for planning collision free paths, and the necessity to keeping the stability during the robot motion, require both using sophisticated MP algorithms like the RRT-trees based approach, and defining basic walking patterns that can be combined into complex motion actions. An another topics able to play a key role in advancing the use of robot into modern society, I took into consideration the human-robot interface, in which area we developed a close interaction with prof. H. Ishiguro’s Laboratory at Osaka University, with whom our IAS-Lab has developed a touching interface to teach a robot with a set of postures. Using tactile instructions, spontaneously

9/15/10 - page 7

given by users, appears a very appealing modality for developing humanoid robot motions, since their interpretation allow the users to employ touch to communicate their intention to the robot. Therefore, we have worked on a system for robot motion creation based on both real and simulated tactile interaction. As for the above case, several of current research done at our IAS-Lab, have been conducted in cooperation with the best Japanese Research Laboratory. Although we keep close contacts with several colleagues in Europe and USA, we devoted a specific attention toward the Japanese scientific achievements because of the key role of Japanese industry in the service robotics industry, that is an important modern actor of robotics science and technology. Besides Osaka University, I established a permanent collaboration with the University of Tokyo, and Keio University, where in addition to many short visits, I spent up to now two long periods of six months each, as a JSPS Fellow, respectively in 2004, and 2008, and with which we are publishing several Journal papers in the field of cooperative robot teams, mobile robot navigation, and robot perception. From another side, after having studied myself for many year long time ago the design of robot programming languages, I feel particularly excited from the fact that nowadays the robotics community is turning its attention to the issues of robot programming languages, middleware, operating systems, and simulation environments. The birth of open-source products, that may act as a kind meta-operating system for the robot, by providing the set of services we would expect from an OS, as the hardware abstraction, a low-level device control, some useful commonly-used functionality, and message-passing between processes, have quickly spread software systems, like ROS (www.ros.org), OROCOS (www.orocos.org), Miro (www.ohloh.net/p/miro-middleware), RobotCub (www.robotcub.org), RT-Middleware (www.openrtm.org/OpenRTM-aist), as well as pushed Microsoft to enter in this arena by offering to the market its commercial simulator Robotics Studio (www.microsoft.com/robotics). Thus, I did my best to promote at an international level the scientific discussion around the relevance of Computer Science for Robotics by I launching a new series of scientific meetings: the International Conferences on Simulation, Modeling and Programming for Autonomous Robots (SIMPAR), that I first organized as a general Chair in Venice, in November 2008 (SIMPAR-2008: monicareggiani.net/simpar2008), and whose second step will be this year at Darmstadt (SIMPAR-2010: www.simpar.org). They are now becoming the main reference point for the robotics community involved into developing software systems and tools for robotics applications. But we liked also to keep the “Modelling” issue as one of the main conference topics, to emphasize its role in the general problem of designing software architectures for robot control. Due to the start in 2005, of a new curriculum in Mechatronics Engineering, in Vicenza Campus of our University, I am also taking care of structuring a new student curriculum suitable for it, that might be able to mix harmonically the various scientific components, from mechanics, to control theory, to electronics, to computer engineering. The presence around the Campus in Vicenza of one of the strongest Italian industrial reality in the field of SMEs, has also lead myself to co-found, with some of my colleagues, IT+Robotics, an industrial Spin-off co-participated also by the University of Padua, that is showing to be able to enhance our research activity, by offering the proper contacts and collaboration with the industrial partners, that would be always one of the most important concern for a scientist working in the field of Engineering. Therefore, we are considering now to tackle challenging scientific problems, like both the navigation of mobile robots, and the simulation of manufacturing working cells, also from an industrial point of view, thanks to a couple of specific projects committed to IT+Robotics by some industrial partners active in the Venetian area.
